And the next time my number one comes in to the flight deck, in tears and shaking telling me someone has threatened to kill her I'll just remind her that dispatchers have a harder life, man up and go and give him another beer shall I? Remember we can't run away from that!
Your in a locked cockpit!! That's why I choose to work out of the enclosed tube!! Ground staff get this kind of abuse too, though I agree that at 30,000 feet it's a different story.
Maybe more grief but certainly not more responsibility.
The Commander has SOLE responsibility for the safety of his aeroplane, his crew and his passengers. Fact. That's what working hard at school gets you. Pay that reflects responsibility!Today 17:51
A dim view of everyone else then??? Yes, you do have SOLE responsibility, once airborne, on the ground though?? Like I said before, do you actually check every passenger?? NO.. you relly on the boarding agents and your cabin crew... Do you actually check every bag in each hold?? I think not.... If you do then you are one in a million!! You rely on someone else to take that responsibility.... So NO.. you are not the SOLE responsibility on your flight like you think you are..... You get the plane up and down..... Everything else is up to other people! Others sign their name in responsibilty to certain factors of your flight. And would appreciate a little more respect!!
